Vote for Romney, Hoekstra; vote to save the United States (Letter)

America is headed in the wrong direction under the policies of President Barack Obama and Senator Debbie Stabenow.

Fiscal policies have been a complete failure. We have had trillion dollar deficits every year for the last four years, adding over $6 trillion to the national debt, which has now surpassed $16 trillion. Stabenow serves on the budget committee which has a responsibility to pass a budget each year, yet there has not been a budget passed out of the Senate in over three years, even during this economic crisis.

Foreign policies are disastrous. There have been multiple terrorists attacks including Benghazi, where our ambassador, two Navy Seals and a diplomat were murdered. Islamist extremism is on the rise and Iran is closer to nuclear arms.

Their social policies have been devastating. Both have waged war on religious and individual freedom through Obamacare and have stood against the Conscientious Objection Amendment for people of faith.

The failed and irresponsible leadership of Stabenow and Obama must be stopped if America is to survive. Mitt Romney has a solid plan and proven experience of growing businesses and creating jobs. Romney, Ryan and Hoekstra have stood firm for religious freedom and the sanctity of life.
